Before you buy

Safety first

Remember to check the product carefully before buying to ensure you know exactly what you’re buying and where you’re going to use it.

It’s especially important to note where the product is recommended for use, as outdoor and indoor lights can have very different designs. Outdoors lights are built to shine brightly for a long time against the elements. This can result in them burning quite hot, and so are not safe to use indoors as they can pose a fire risk. Whereas indoor lights aren’t designed to be weatherproof and survive outdoor conditions, particularly if the weather is bad.

If you’re not quite sure if you’d like to use your lights indoors or out, look for ones that can be used in both settings. Many different types offer safe use in both environments (such as string lights), while some are specific just to one area (such as window silhouettes), so always check first.
